It is a concept of casual intimacy and communal romance. Sotto is the art of simplicity, a steward of restraint. It’s undressed, gutsy and human. It is fire, meat, wheat, and laughter. Above all, Sotto is Italian.


Now Open for Lunch Service Monday - Friday, 11am - 2pm

    The food was fabulous and the service was great. The pasta is very fresh. We bought two pastas to share. The pasta with the braised beef is just the best. The Ricotta donuts for dessert are excellent.

    My wife and I absolutely love Sotto. One of if not the best restaurant in Cincinnati IMO. The homemade pastas here are incredible. Our go to's are the Cacio e Pepe and Capellaci. The Bistecca is always great as well. You will not be disappointed if you give this place a try. Staff and service is top notch.

    My fiancé and I were warmly greeted upon entry to Sotto. Our seat was unfortunately right next to a loud speaker which made it both hard to talk to each other and hear our server. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. You feel like you’re in a speak easy and each table has a candle lit. The waitress seemed annoyed when we said it was our first time though. It also seemed like she wasn’t taking our gluten allergy seriously as we had to ask multiple times what was okay to order to make sure there was no cross contamination. I was expecting a little more attention to this allergy based on what I read from other reviews. Regardless, the food that came out was extremely rich and delicious. Portions were bigger than I expected. Definitely worth the price. We will most likely revisit again!
